Hi Dorrie here in australia at the moment everyone is talking about this new shake drink that has helped them loss weight, and I have seen the results with some of our friends, they are replacing there breakfast and lunch every day and they are really seeing the benefits, they allow themselves a 1000 calories a day, so they sit down with the family at night for the main meal and they are really loosing the weight, I don't have a weight problem with my diabetes mine is inherited, from my dad's family,so the weight thing is not a concern to me,thank goodness,alot have said that the drink thing is also helping there diabetes, there readings have been really good.
